Autumn


Autumn! Its finally here. The last few days we have been cuddled up inside watching the rain and drinking warm tea and it has been wonderful. I have to admit, I think I am a little Autumn crazy. I wanted to make the house feel 'fally' without spending much/any money so I have been trying to do some crafts using materials I already had around the house.

Before I got started on the decorations, I made up some pumpkin spice syrup to make this lovely looking coffee drink from foodpulwords. It was as good as it looks!



I move the electric fireplace (don't judge, it makes me happy) to the living room where I could stare out at the rain and pretend we had a real fire burning.


And I made this wreath using a wreath we had lying around and a few squares of felt turned into flowers using this tutorial from jonesdesigncompany. What I really wanted to make was one of those cute yarn wrapped wreathes I have been seeing eveywhere, but since the foam wreath cost a min. of 5 dollars I decided to go with this free route instead. I put all the flowers on pin backs first so if after I'm done with the wreath I can use them to spruce up a sweater or headband!

Even the baby was getting in the fall spirit with his cute little acorn pants!

This is the look i get when I am doing something confusing to him.


I even bought stuff to make pumpkin pie tonight. What I really wanted was to buy chestnuts for roasting but i couldnt find them anywhere. Hope your enjoying fall as much as we are!
